I typically try to stay away from most fake meat products; there are just too many reports about the dangers of eating too much soy, plus they taste a little strange by themselves. That being said, every once in a while I will buy them and then stare into my freezer wondering why the hell I brought them home from the grocery store.
After staring at a box of Boca Original Vegan Burgers for months I finally decided to use one to replicate a typical meaty dish that my friends often order at Chinese restaurants... beef and broccoli.
Recipe:
1 Boca burger, microwaved and chopped into pieces
1 cup (or more) frozen broccoli
1 small onion, sliced into half moons
1 T olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3 T soy sauce
1 T teriyaki sauce
3-4 drops of sriracha sauce (depending on how spicy you want it)
3-4 drops sesame oil
1/4 cup water
1 T corn starch
black pepper
In a sautee pan heat oil over medium-high heat. When hot, put onions and frozen broccoli in the pan and sautee until broccoli is no longer frozen and is starting to brown. Add boca burger pieces to the pan. Meanwhile, combine garlic, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, water, and corn starch in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add this to the pan and let it boil. Stir often to make sure that the sauce is thickening and coating the "beef" and broccoli. When thickened and slightly glossy remove pan from heat and serve over rice or prepared couscous.
